Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large Vidalia onions, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and separated into rings
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 quart oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside. Line 2 additional baking sheets or 1 tray with paper towels; set aside.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Pour the milk into a second shallow bowl. In a third bowl, stir together the cornmeal, 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, and black pepper.
  • Dip the onion rings first into the plain flour, then into the milk, and last into the cornmeal mixture. Place the breaded rings on the wax paper-lined baking sheets.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Fry the onion rings a few at a time in the hot oil so they are not crowded, until golden brown. Drain on paper towel-lined baking sheets, and serve immediately.

I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to the breading, and it gave the onion rings a nice kick.

I was skeptical about the buttermilk marinade, but it really does make a difference. The onion rings were so tender and juicy.
